A super-saturated baking soda solution, then rinse thoroughly.
This is how I see it, too. He's a skilled technician. Straight copies of original designs he does well. Some of his inanimate object designs...
Correct. The gimmick starts now, when people reap their Obscene Profits™ from the certificates. I imagine the ceremonial striking went something...
What did you charge him for a circulated 98-O?
It looks fake, just like the seller's 1894 Morgan. They're perfectly capable of taking better pictures. Look at some of the stamps being sold.

Well, he is wearing her crown.
[ATTACH] That's the full-size TrueView shot of the steps. I'm not a Jefferson guy, but the steps under the third pillar look weakest and there's...
